Do equidistant projection show distance and direction or size and shape correctly?
cicle\
What are the five properties of the global grid?
area distance shape direction scale
Math what is a translation?
moving a point or shape etc a distance in a certain direction
What happens to images on globes when they are transferred to a flat surface?
ovalish shape
What does translation mean in geometry?
On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and direction
What do flat maps distort?
distance, shape, size, and direction......my human geography teacher also said distance, shape, size, area ... but the last time she said it, she said direction
Which map projection shows correct direction and shape but not size and distance?
B

What are four important elements which a map projection attempts to show?
shape, size or area ,distance and direction
Differentiate distance and displacement?
Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total length covered by an object, regardless of direction. Displacement, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that represents the change in position of an object from its initial point to its final point in a straight line. Displacement takes into account both the magnitude and direction of the movement.
What does translation mean in geometry?
On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and direction
Why do geographers use globes?
Geographers use globes because they provide a more accurate representation of the Earth's curved surface. Globes show the true scale, size, and shape of continents and oceans in relation to each other, unlike flat maps that often distort these aspects. They are particularly useful for studying global phenomena and understanding spatial relationships on a spherical planet.
